Well, it's been a long winter, but the ground is workable again. I spent about 10 hours in January getting rid of the last of the ornamental garden by the side of the house, mainly with a hand ax and some hedge clippers. I know there are many more efficient ways of doing this, but with toddlers running about the yard, I can't really run power tools. Anyway, it's done. Still need to borrow a rototiller this weekend and just kind of mix everything up. Then we need to fence it with chicken wire. I'm planning on cutting down several of the Red Alder trees that have sprouted up in our yard to make fence posts. I figure if they are going to grow in my yard, I might as well use them for something.
